jpu&Mer’s Column. Effort—Success. —The brethren who an nounced their determination, a few weeks wjce, to place a copy of the Index and Bap tist in every family of their congregations are succeding admirably in carrying out their commendable purpose. The mails bring us letters from these zealous co-workers, every few days, with new names and annual pay ments. What pastor, minister, deacon, or other Christian, can claim exemption from making similar efforts for so potent an agency for the cause of Christ ? Will not every one, who is pressing “to ward the mark for the prize of the high call ing of God in Christ Jesus,” put forth a part of his or her strength to advance an isstru mentality so well adapted to awaken indolent Christians, and arouse the spirit of inquiry among dead sinners ? Can they not be induced to act in this good work without delay ] Now ! now ! is the time to work ! Since our special terms of subscription to Ministers of the Gospel, ($3 a year,) was an nounced, we have enrolled the names of many from different sections of the country who might not have enjoyed the benefit of our columns without such reduction. Several of these brethren have expressed their high ap preciation of the paper, and manifested an interest for its increased circulation. Can these “ embassadors for Christ ” intro duce into their churches and congregations a more efficient and certain agency for good than the Index aijd Baptist. Will they not arouse themselves to the work? “ To-day —To-day.” Psalms xcv : 7. We hope M. E. 8., of Oko lona, Mississippi, will pardon the liberty which we take in giving an extract from his business letter of the 21st instant. Brother B. has shown himself an active and fast friend of the enterprise, and realizes the importance of vigorous efforts to sustain and widen its influ ence : “ I am truly gratified to observe the many evidences of satisfaction which the paper seems to secure, especially among the most intelli gent of the denomination. I know if it gave every body the comfort and the support it does me, you would have a host of subscri bers. My father was a subscriber from its' origin, then known as the Columbian Stan. I was raised under its light. I can noiT do without it.” i, * ‘ * Alabama has the numerical and pecuniary, in addition to the moral and intellectual strength, to add five thousand new names to our list within one month, if the hearts of believers were animated with a proper zeal toward every “ work of faith and labor of love,” and therefore toward this in proportion to the important bearing of the Christian press on the progress of the truth and the prosperity of Zion. Will the brethren make trial of their ability to help the paper by an early, general and vigorous effort ? Ought such things to be ?—A working brother writes us from Lawrenceville as fol lows : “I am serving four churches. lam satisfied that not one member of the same takes a reli gious paper of any kind. I intend to try to get a few of the brethren to take the Index and Baptist.” , How hard is it for a religious paper to flourish under such circumstances, but how much more difficult is it for our churches to prosper, deprived of wholesome religious 1 i tcrature! gKimutffls amt ((Imrite. Rev. E. B. Teague, President of -the East Alabama Female College, preached to his old flock at LaGrange, on Sabbath last. Rev. A. D. Sears, pastor of the Baptist Church, Clarksville, Tenn., occupied the pul pit of the First Baptist Church, (Dr. How ell’s,) Nashville, on last Sabbath.

We wish for him, in his new field, that success which his zeal and ability so richly merit. Rev. A. Peyton Woodfin, of Virginia, has been elected pastor of the church at Rome. If he should accept the call, we congratulate the brethren. His talents and piety fit him for a useful career among them. Ordination. A Presbytery consisting of Elders W. I. Harley, B. Peeler, N. B. Binion, and B. Roberts, met with the Beulah Baptist Church on the Bth of February, 1867, for the purpose of ordaining brother James B. Roberts to the Christian ministry. The services were conducted as follows: Brother Binion preached the appropriate ser mon. Brother Peeler examined the candidate and offered the ordaining prayer. Brother Harley presented the Bible and gave the charge. Brother B. Roberts led in giving the right baud of fellowship. Brother Harley, (by request of the candi date,) pronounced the benediction. Brother Roberts was called to ordination by the Smyrna Church in Washington county. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN - BAPTISE? ATLANTA, GA., THUR SDAY, FEBRUARY 28,1867. and J lrntm. »- ~ ■ and There are limits to human forbearance. It may seem to have ‘ the back of a camel,’ which bears such burdens as to earn the title, “ship of the desertbut beware of ‘ the last fath er and make very sure that you know which feather is the last. Now, our forbearance is human—sometimes we fear, in (his point, very human. Now and then, it gives way under severe strain ; not as often as it once did, indeed, but still too often for our comfort—to say nothing of the com fort of other people, and hoping, also, that they will say nothing. Well: we are in apprehension of such an unpleasant experience at this writing. The cords are tightening, and we should not be surprised to hear them snap at any moment. May we take you into, our confidence and ask your sympathy ? We are minded to quarrel with brother Boykin, of Macon. Just look, will you ? at the title he gives to his Sabbath school month ly. And then, with arguments of precisely the right shade, (for if blushing be virtue’s color, the true colorof persuasion in these de generate iimes is gr|^n —Blair’s Rhetoric is nothing to Chittenden and Spinner’s,) he con strains the proprietor of the Index and Bap tist, to publish it in these columns, —“ The Child’s Delight, The Child’s Delight, The Child’s Delight.” What does this amount to, if not to the charge that because the paper delights us, we, forsooth, are a child / A pretty insinuation truly, to be flaunted in the face of one, gray (but, mark you, by no means old) enough to call him son! Do we not well to be angry ? We think we do. But anger has not yet conquered our prudence. We are still cool enough to act on the rule: before you take a quarrel on your hands, rally your backers; get first a fair showing of ‘ cooperation ’ and ‘ intervention on which you can rely, and then begin —if you must. Os course, we look to our readers, in such an exigency, to stand by us. Just subscribe every one of you for brother Boy kin’s paper. He will then have the same rea son for twitting you as a child that he has for twitting usand you will have our ground of resentment against him. It will be a common cause ; aitd we will show him, won’t we ? what it is bo * call names.” His audacious adver tisement on the fourth page, will show you ho\£ little it will cost you, in this matter, to help us and—to ‘delight’ yourselves. “ The Ladies’ Depository.” —This is the title of the Association formed by a number cf the noble women of Baltimore, to open a store in that city to receive needle and other work which may be sent from the South, and to dispose of it solely for the benefit of the owners. “ Orders will also be received at the Depository for any kind of work, so as to provide employment for those who have not the necessary materials.” The store is locat ed on Lexington Street, Baltimore, No. 97£, and went into operation Feb. 11th. The Of ficers of the Association are : President, Mrs. Peyton Harrison ; *Vice President, Mrs. John H. B. Latrobe; Treasurer, Mrs. W. W. Spence; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Thomas Murdoch ; Secretary, Mrs. James A. Stewart; with a Board of Managers, twenty-four in number. This movement affords an opportunity of self-help to worthy but indigent ladies at the South; and we repeat the suggestion that our Relief Committees—or, in their failure to act, some others of our public spirited citizens— say, perhaps, a Committee of Ladies in each city—open appropriate depots for the recep tion and transmission of useful and fancy ar ticles, of which our noble, needy Southern women may wish to dispose as a means of self-support. . . In Press. —The Hartford Publishing Com pany announce as in press, to be sold only by agents, “ The Origin and History of the Books of the Bible, both the Canonical and the Apocryphal; with Illustrations; showing what the Bible is not, and what it is, and how' to use it: By Prof. CL E.

We have read only the second article, which is an ingenious but unsuccessful effort to show that a system of morality may be framed on a substantial basis, without recognizing Di vine government or future accountability. Its writer will hardly persuade the world, as re gards ethics, to return to heathenism in theory —however much, in some quarters, it may ap pear to be returning to it in practice.

Numerous attempts have been made by authors to produce such a book, and not without some success. Yet there is room in this department for still further efforts. Among the numerous works of the class re ferred to," Primary Bible Questions” possess advantages which are worthy of consideration— viz: Each answer is made to contain a well defined Bible truth, independently of those preceding or following. This little book is in use in many of the largest schools in Georgia and Alabama, and is highly esteemed by Sunday school teachers who have used it. A large edition has been issued by the proprietor of the Index and Baptist, and it is now offered to schools at the reduced price of $1 50 per doz by mail, postage paid ; 100 copies by express for $lO.

The last “ reconstruction ” bill, with what is known as Sherman’s amendment, as it pass ed both Houses, provides for the division of the “ rebel States ” into five military districts, each under the control of an officer of the regu lar army, with such military force as may be necessary. All civil or State government to be subor dinate to the military, and this to continue until the people of each State shall form State governments in entire conformity to the pro visions of this bill, recognizing universal suf frage, except to those disfranchised by the re bellion, and shall adopt the constitutional amendment offered by the last Congress. If this bill is vetoed by the President it will be immediately passed by a two-third vote, so it may be regarded as the ultimatum for the South. Emigration to Venezuela is now attracting considerable attention in certain parts of the South. It is said that eight hundred families have already located in that country from the Southern States. Very favorable terms are granted them by the government. Venezuela has the advantage over Brazil in accessibility, and is probably equal to it in fertility and salubrity, especially in the mountain districts. Ex-Gov. Brown, in response to a request from several of the citizens of Atlanta, has written a lengthy communication upon the political situation, in which he reviews the position of parties at the North, and gives with frankness his opinions as to the duty of our people in the present emergency.- He recommends the immediate calling of a con vention of delegates elected by the people, to change the constitution so as to conform to the recent legislation in Congress, and the adoption of the constitutional amendment. He thinks that after this is done, we will at once be admitted to representation, and be technically reconstructed.
